reviews & comments
We also never have had any cinnamon sugar on real Fry Bread. That's more like something you'd buy at the fair, called "Fried Dough". Any real Hopi Fry Bread I ever got was plain...really hot and crispy from the oil (sometimes that is lard, not always shortening). I never put sweets on Fry Bread, but love making Hopi Tacos, layering Fry Bread with refried beans, shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, and shredded cheese.
Traditional fry bread is rolled out fo be as thin as possible (try for about an 1/8th of an inch) so that when you fry it, it turns out puffy and evenly cooked. This also helps lessen the frying time, which results in frybread that isn't as greasy and heavy.
